The Coast Guard reinforced its stance on characterizing swastikas as hate symbols following confusion about the branch’s hate symbols policies, triggered by a report noting a change in wording from previous policies.

Confusion broke out on Thursday after the Washington Post published a report saying the Coast Guard removed swastikas and other extremist symbols from its list of hate symbols and recategorized them as “potentially divisive.” The Trump administration quickly denied the reporting, while Coast Guard spokeswoman Jennifer Plozai told the outlet that she disagreed with the reporting but would look into the matter.
